    It was a very good trip and we had a nice gide, who told us a lot.

  2. Ian and Anne-Marie –

    An excellent tour with Helle. An extremely personable and excellent guide. The conditions for our tour were not wonderful but we didn’t let that dampen our enjoyment. If anything it made us appreciate the way Faroese people live for much of the year. Of course the highlight was seeing the Puffins and being able to picture them.

    Mykines is lovely and a worthwhile trip – with or without puffins. The views are amazing, starting with the boat ride. Stay on deck weather-permitting. On Mykines be prepared for some uphill hiking, but it’s well worth the effort. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking!

  4. Timothy McCormick –

    Very very good!

  5. Casey Schmidt –

    What a great trip! The guides were lovely and shared a lot of interesting history about the Islands and the country. The number of birds on these islands are quite impressive and the captain was entertaining and informative as well. Also appreciated the numerous photo stops and the trip to the knitting shop in Vestmanna. Great day!

    A really perfect experience! I did the visit of the Vestmanna cliffs with this company. The organization was really perfect: they picked me up at my hotel, drove me to Vestmanna and gave me a sandwich for the lunch on the boat. At the end of the visit, I had some time to look at the surroundings and they brought me back to my hotel.

    Please accept my sincere thanks for the outstanding support you provided to me. Remember, you are providing a service to locations unmatched in anywhere else in the world; gold class.

    The boat tour was great. I give it between 4.5 out of 5 because it’s something i would do again and is not a must see (for me).

  9. Mia Shin –

    Beautiful view from the boat. Could see lots of birds from the cliffs. But the weather could have been better. Otherwise a good sigtseeing tour

  10. David Wight –

    This was a breathtaking experience! The cliffs were awe inspiring and a very calm sea allowed the captain to take the boat into narrow and scenic openings in the cliffs that I’m sure can’t be accessed when the weather isn’t so perfect. I fully expected the boat trip to be only focus of the day. However, the drive to Vestmanna was wonderful. Besides the beautiful scenery, I very much enjoyed all the stops we made and the walks we took through picturesque villages. I highly recommend this tour.

    We had a wonderful time with our guide. We enjoyed the boat ride very much going into the sea cave. We saw puffins and seals. Our guide prepared a picnic for us. Lovely day!!!

  12. Frank Boice –

    This tour was nothing short of superior! The scenery during the boat trip was as good as I have seen anywhere (128 countries and counting). The tour guide was excellent. I would do this tiur again in a heartbeat.

  13. Sim Bee Hia –

    Absolutely amazing! Mastery in navigating the boat! Mother Nature’s creations were just beyond stunning. Weather was also perfect! Christian is a gem. He pointed out the sights, looked after everyone of us and went beyond his duty. That led us to a very interesting shop and had such rich history dating back to the owner’s great great grand mother. As he shared, go with the flow the Faroese way. He wasnt frazzled by the emergency at all! Out of this world, must join!

    Unfortunately I wasn’t able to travel due to unforeseen circumstances, but wanted to attest to both Experience Faroe Islands’ and Guide’s promptness in processing returns. I will not hesitate to book with them when I am able to travel there.

  15. Jenny –

    I highly recommend this tour! I had the best time exploring Mykines and seeing all of the wildlife on this beautiful island! The tour guides were very helpful in answering my questions and sharing their knowledge and experience of Mykines and the rest of the Faroe Islands, making this an unforgettable experience.

  16. Ayesha –

    Had an amazing experience exploring Mykines. The guide knew the best places to see and hike to which made it extra special. Definitely recommend this tour to see the views, wildlife and learn more about the history of the island from the perspective of a local.

  17. Annmarie –

    Sadly, the ferry wasn’t going due to weather. They emailed me the night before and offered two other tours in it’s place, but we already had another tour booked for the next day that was similar. So instead, we did a northern islands tour which was great and loved our guide.

    Since this is a puffin-focused tour, in the future I would suggest that the alternative tours also try to include puffins somehow since we were pretty disappointed about it being cancelled. We did see puffins on other tours during our stay, so it is possible and would have appreciated having another option. Also I realize the ferry is dependent on the weather, but it would have been great if the tour company suggested another possible day later in the week for the tour as well.

  18. Tom Draper –

    Halle was an excellent tour guide – she made the entire trip enjoyable, from the speedboat to the hikes to the puffins. We appreciated her special information about Faroese legends and the stops to view the horse statue and local horses. A terrific experience!

  19. Stephanie Ellis –

    The Faroe Islands are so beautiful they are difficult to describe in only a few words. The people are also lovely and very helpful. Kim was a wonderful tour guide and very knowledgeable. He had many options to offer depending on the weather of the day. I would highly recommend!
